Maybe you just haven't watched many movies, at least not ones that are driven by complex narrative (no, Fast and the Furious does not count) and/or include subtitles. It's a simple movie for simple minds, nothing more, nothing less. Pop your popcorn and enjoy the ride, but don't try to pretend it is deep, moving, or profound.
I'm glad you enjoyed another paint-by-numbers military propaganda movie with lots of cool 'splosions and that it gave you a big boner for "Merika. Good for you.
I fucking hate FAst and the furious, he only wrote for that movie, he never produced or directed.
His genius isn't in his literary skills it's his ability to understand real shit.
The fuck, did you even see the fucking movie.
David Ayer got a knack for this kind of thing.
They're cliche cheezyness to his movies no doubt, but once you dig past that there is a real weight to what he makes.
He understands violence, just fundamentally, something alot of hollywood writers just don't have the first clue about.
This hollywood thing of having every detail to sterlized or perfect is what ruins most movies.
his movies are smooth but what they offer in return is ample.
He makes movies for men, not boys or literary students.
